You know you're a home brewer when?

[CaptainAl]

I have a wireless cctv camera I wanted to hook up to watch the temp, wife said no

That's because you are not bugging her enough during the day to check for you

 

[JDGator]

you love your empty bottles more then your wife!!

 

[mlafnitzegger]

When your power goes out the first thing you plug into the generator is your fermentation fridge.

When your mom comes to visit you and she decides to help out around the house and puts a bunch of empty beer bottles in the recycle and you end up having to dig thru it and grab all the bottles out.

When SWMBO tells you specifically not to grow hops but you buy the crowns anyways because the wrath of SWMBO is worth the joy of growing hops.

 

[Pinebarrensbrew]

No, but 75 is still hot. What are you brewing? A saison?

No no I'm brewing a nut brown. I'm fermenting at 65 right now. I'm saying the hot to the touch represents the 75-80. Cause I had a beer turn to **** from a high ferm

Banana nail polish? I know I hope to never make that again

 

[Pinebarrensbrew]

Yea it tasted like I could strip the paint off my truck along with the fruit and the bananas was even worse cause it was a yeast

When you're making soup and refer to it coming to a full boil as hot break.

While walking around Home Depot your wife asks if you are looking for something for the house or for making beer!

 

[amfukuda]

If they would start selling grain and hops at Home Depot it would save me a lot of time

So you're disobeying she who must be obeyed? I think you've forfeited the right to use that acronym.

Why does that have to be mutually exclusive???!?!

Pfff.... Every time I leave the house mine asks, "where are you going? To pick up more brewing stuff?"

Agreed

 

[JimRausch]

... you spend more time on this forum than your wife does on Facebook.

 

[Pinebarrensbrew]

That's nearly impossible. I have to spend SOME time working

You're seriously bummed ups rescheduled the delivery for your northern brewer order until tomorrow even though you have no plans to brew until the weekend.

Ah yes, the classic delay of shipping. Plagues many online shoppers alike. Not as bad as watching the ETA be perfectly on schedule with "anticipated deliver" Friday morning, until you log on Friday morn and see it postponed until Monday. Mocking you. With all other information updated to hide the 3 day delay, just poof: no stuff for you.

Glad I'm not the only one bothered by this. Man, I just wanted to plan out my details with the actual ingredients in my hands! . And really glad my order wasn't scheduled to arrive Friday!

When you have bottles sitting at your desk all day from a client who returned them to you.

It was a clone attempt at a Tallgrass firkin I had. Here is the recipe thread. There is also another thread that is linked at the bottom of the page of my attempt. Its quite good

Are those... rinsed bottles that were returned to you? And with no fuzziness growing inside? People actually do that? Woah. You trained this client well.

Haha he is a homebrewer as well so he understands

 

[DrunkleJon]

That was my other guess. Still an impressive feat. Heck, with fellow homebrewers I would just say to keep the bottles and reuse and then give a few full ones back instead.

I would rather have my empties actually :cross:

When you haven't brewed since July 2013 and you throw a brew session party this weekend! (life got in the way)

I have a regular who does this without needing to be reminded. Though on beer gift day one the speech was "If any of these come back not rinsed with a bunch of crud stuck on the bottom, you're cut off." At the guild homebrew, wine, and mead are always around so everybody knows the routine about keeping vessels in good shape. Even the non-brewers will instruct a newcomer to the flow of things. Turns out it's another way this group is so special to me.
